RockJock Johnny Joint Rod End 2 1/2in Forged 2.625in X .640in Ball 1in-14 LH Thread Shank

RockJock is known for making serious off-road suspension components, and their Johnny Joint rod ends are a popular choice for fabricators building custom suspension systems. This particular joint is designed to give you a full 30 degrees of unrestricted movement in any direction, which is notably more than the typical 22 degrees you'd get from a standard heim joint. That extra range of motion can make a big difference when you're articulating your suspension over tough terrain.

What sets the Johnny Joint apart is its internal construction. Instead of just a metal-on-metal ball, it uses high-density urethane bushings to cushion the inner ball, providing a bit of dampening that a heim joint can't offer. The heat-treated center ball is cross-drilled so you can easily lubricate it through the zerk fitting, and it's held in place by heavy-duty washers and a snap ring. This specific unit has a 2 1/2 inch diameter ball, a 2 1/4 inch shank with 1 inch-14 left-hand threads, and a mounting width of 2.625 inches with a .640 inch thru-bolt hole. It comes finished in a gold zinc plating to help resist corrosion.
